Coronavirus (COVID-19) Essential Building Maintenance

As the country takes its first tentative steps to reopening, reoccupying and getting back to work, school and play, Facilities Managers will need to ensure that buildings are safe to return to.

The coronavirus crisis has created unprecedented challenges for building owners and maintainers. However, the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has moved quickly to support the sector by releasing detailed guidance on how buildings can be managed and maintained effectively during the coming weeks and months. We have gathered together guidance and advice on maintaining your building and facilities during this time.

Tuesday 5 May - Ventilation & air conditioning: prevention of re-circulation and optimisation of air movement

We are joined by REFCOM’s Graeme Fox and a specialist air conditioning and ventilation technical panel.

We will be debunking the confusion over different types of ventilation and air conditioning systems and explain the issues surrounding preventing recirculation and what to do where prevention is not possible? Plus, as the UK starts looking at getting back to work, we explore how to minimise the risk in air movement as staff return to offices.

Back by popular demand, Geoff Prudence returns following a hugely successful webinar last week on FM during the pandemic.

This time Geoff will specifically cover how to safely manage the reactivation of buildings. He will focus on the considerations you need to make across fire, ventilation and security to ensure buildings are safe to return to.
